Preview Roundups
November 19, 2018
Boston at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
Just when it seemed as if the Boston Celtics had figured some things out and might be primed for a breakout, they put up another clunker. The Celtics will try to bounce back from a woeful offensive effort at home when they visit the Charlotte Hornets on Monday.
Cleveland at Detroit 7:00 PM ET
The Cleveland Cavaliers had four full days off to figure out how they went from an impressive win to another disappointing loss as they prepare for a tough stretch. The Cavaliers will go in search of their first road victory when they visit the Detroit Pistons on Monday.
Utah at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
The Utah Jazz looked more like the team they want to be in a 98-86 win at Boston on Saturday, which came on the heels of two straight tough losses. The Jazz will try to carry that momentum over to the finale of a five-game trip when they visit the Indiana Pacers on Monday.
Phoenix at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET
The Philadelphia 76ers are already getting plenty from newcomer Jimmy Butler, who has quickly become the go-to scorer at the end of games. Butler will try to lead his new team to a third straight win when the 76ers host the Phoenix Suns on Monday.
L.A. Clippers at Atlanta 7:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers have three of the top 35 scorers in the NBA as they head to Atlanta for a Monday night matchup with the Hawks, but contributions from outside that trio helped fuel a four-game winning streak. Saturday it was reserve forward Montrezl Harrell coming off the bench to score 16 points with 10 rebounds, helping Los Angeles rally in the fourth quarter to earn a 127-118 road victory at Brooklyn.
Dallas at Memphis 8:00 PM ET
The Dallas Mavericks have a chance to string together five consecutive wins for the first time in three seasons on Monday, when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies. Behind 24 points from standout rookie Luka Doncic, the Mavericks got past a short-handed Golden State Warriors squad 112-109 on Saturday.
Denver at Milwaukee 8:00 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks traded wins and losses over the last eight games following a 7-0 start and will try to jump above .500 on a six-game homestand when they host the Denver Nuggets on Monday. The Bucks fell to the Memphis Grizzlies to suffer their first home loss in the opener of the homestand on Wednesday but bounced back with a dominating second-half performance against the Chicago Bulls on Friday.
San Antonio at New Orleans 8:00 PM ET
Anthony Davis carries an impressive scoring streak into a matchup with one of the few teams that has had some success slowing him down over the years when he leads the New Orleans Pelicans against the visiting San Antonio Spurs on Monday. Davis has scored at least 40 points in back-to-back games and is averaging 32.5 over a six-game stretch for the Pelicans, who have gone 5-1 in that span.
Oklahoma City at Sacramento 10:00 PM ET
The streaking Oklahoma City Thunder could have superstar guard Russell Westbrook back in action when they continue a three-game road trip at the Sacramento Kings on Monday. The Thunder began the trip with a 110-100 win at Phoenix, their third straight victory and 10th in 11 games following an 0-4 start.
